Hi all
I plan on doing northern brewers le petite saison.
per kit instructions:
Does anybody have any experience with this recipe kit or even the yeast. My last brew temp spiked to 74 degrees on day two of fermentation. I then placed it in a swamp cooler. It seems like this recipe may do alright with out a swamp cooler. I also plan on doing a "late" or even "at flame out" extract addition. I want the color to be as light as I can get it. I will run the numbers through beersmith to adjust the hop additions. I also plan on making a 1 liter starter for the yeast.
I'm super excited. Any advice or comments would be greatly appreciated.

per kit instructions:
This session-strength Saison of summer pours tawnygold
and perfumes the air with tangy yeast and pungent
hop aromas. The flavor is lightly earthy with spicy,
flowery hops and a grain-and-bread malt character;
caramel malt dukes it out with Saaz and Styrian Goldings
through the middle before a palate-cleansingly dry finish.
The blend of malt and hops combine to bring out the best
in the real star of this sprightly Belgian ale: Wyeasts
immensely popular Saison strain.
